Pilates 2

A Pilates class for all abilities designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, balance and posture, and enhance mental awareness.

Pilates emphasises your body’s core – the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh and bottom. This gentle form of exercise means there is a much lower chance of injury than with other forms of exercise. The discipline focuses on correct alignment and form and the tutors are experts at working with a variety of injuries and providing modifications of challenging moves. The exercises build the body’s core strength and improve posture through a series of low repetition, low impact stretching and conditioning exercises, which develop muscles without adding bulk.

I trained with Alan Herdman as a pilates teacher in 1987, and worked at Shrubland Hall until it closed in 2006, when I moved to Gilmour Pipers. I have worked with all sorts of clients including Royals, celebrities and athletes.
